Hi all,

Here is another release candidate. We are now planning for a final 1.0
version at the beginning of April. Hopefully, the project has had enough
time to stabilize now.

NOTE: small API breaking changes related to the methods handling
secrets/passwords were made. Following some security recommendations from
Sun and others, as reported by Aron Roberts, we decided to change the type
of those parameters from String to char[]. This should limit the
possibilities of stealing these values.

For more details, please see this issue: 
http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=276

If your application code breaks on those methods, you can use:
 - From char array to String: new String(char[] secret)
 - From String to char array: "mySecret".toCharArray()

Thanks to all the contributors:
 - Aron Roberts
 - Brandon Lonac
 - Christian Ohr
 - Jonathan Hall
 - Ryan Daum
 - Sean Landis
 - Thierry Boileau
